The Van Gundy brothers faced each other for the first time as head coaches in the NBA on Tuesday, but it was an easy win for Jeff's Rockets as the Heat lost for the seventh time this season in as many games.

The meeting of the coaching brothers was the first in the NBA since Larry Brown, then with Denver, faced Herb Brown with Detroit from 1976 to '78.

The Van Gundys had faced each other before in a play-off series when Jeff coached the New York Knicks and Stan was an assistant under Pat Riley in Miami.

In Indianapolis, Vin Baker sank the winning basket with 20 seconds left to lead the Boston Celtics past the Indiana Pacers 78-76.

At Washington, Allen Iverson scored 40 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past the Wizards 112-105.

The 76ers were without three starters after Derrick Coleman left in the second half with a strained left knee, but Samuel Dalembert had 10 points and a career-high nine rebounds coming off the bench.

In Minneapolis, Ronald Murray scored 29 points, including the winning basket at the buzzer, to lead the Seattle SuperSonics to an 89-87 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

At Dallas, Antoine Walker had 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists as the Mavericks cruised to a 125-97 win over the New Orleans Hornets.

In Portland, Zach Randolph had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Trail Blazers past the Toronto Raptors 83-80.

At Sacramento, Mike Bibby had 23 points to lead the Kings past the Pistons 97-91, snapping Detroit's five-game win streak.

In Los Angeles, Quentin Richardson scored 32 points and had 16 rebounds to lead the Clippers to a 115-103 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
